It doesn't exactly paint them in a good light and says absolutely nothing about their products from what I can remember.

The company decides everything and you just do very basic management at the location, like keeping it staffed and supplied, etc.

I worked at a subway for a year. The owner of the shop was an amazing person. Gave small deals here and there that the company wouldn’t necessarily offer (think extra stuff on certain sandwiches he thought were bad deals). He also made sure every single employee had a job before we closed(I’ll get to that). I remember when the inspector would come down she’d proudly claim that we were the best subway in socal and she loved checking in on us. During the $5 footling I asked the owner “how do you afford to sell sandwiches at that price?” To which he responded “I’m wondering the same thing.” Poor dude had to close the whole shop a few months later and could barely afford to do so. I still have the order here sign as a memory of my first job

Sure, Subway & Co. are evil (it‘s the USA, after all), but if you have a functioning brain you can avoid most capitalistic traps.

Yep - saving Chuck and Community earned Subway a permanent place in my heart, along with their going along with that superficially anti-corporate plot on Community. Also the fact that, for many years in many places around the world, they were the only restaurant with a vegetarian option that was more than just fries (which themselves weren't even vegetarian at some chains). A loved one even talked about opening a franchise someday. Fortunately, she chose a safer life option - moving to Ukraine.

This is a little irrelevant, but one of my first jobs was at a Subway at age 16. My first day on the job, the coworker training me stole money from the register during close that night and tried to blame me the next day I came to work. He got fired shortly after, and I didn't realize I'd pick up all of his 12-hour shifts where my manager would " go to the bank" during lunch shifts and dinner shifts. They did a good job exploiting young workers who had never had a job before. They told me when I first applied that it would be great experience, and it really gave me the experience to 1) know my worth 2) quit that job as fast as humanly possible.

Living myth. Yes I thought so too at first but I think he picked the biggest and worst bc the others will follow in public perception as they are also egregious businesses. However, it's all intertwined. To many world wide this is a livelihood. To just say I'm not going to eat there anymore is not really the answer. there are people stuck in the middle who are hurting and I imagine it isn't limited to Subway. It's a big problem that DOES stem from the Capitalistic idea of owning your own business, being your own boss, and that kind of mythological independence we're taught is so easy to attain.

My MIL opened Subways in the early 2000s and this was pretty much exactly her story. She had one in a gas station on one side of an interestate in a small country town. Subway allowed someone else to build one on the other side of the highway before hers even opened.

I used to work for subway and they treat the employees soo bad. The assistant manager was a perve who they just kept shuffling to other stores rather than fire. They left me alone in the store for hours, knowing I had a high risk pregnancy and a seizure disorder, to run the line plus the drive through, phone, and online orders. They paid 10$ an hour. Highest priority was to keep labor costs as low as possible. The % of sales that went to labor was 8% or less. Sometimes we were at 5%. Industry standard is under 21%. They also made you watch the training videos off the clock on an app you had to download on your own device. Schedules were posted late every week and constantly changing

As someone who's seen waaaay too many Subway product placements in Kdramas over the last 5 years, I really couldn't tell at first if the skit was legit or not until the tuna part. But this was hilariously perfect - all it needed was a character getting hit by a car or truck, or one of the characters ends up in a coma over their heartbreak because the bread wasn't real after all....

Watch this show and will never want a Subway franchise. Funny but very informative. Very much a scam for franchisee. The only one where I live, recently closed down. It was in the smaller part of a two part commercial property, in a great location, but I don't know why have not been able to rent it all now. The bigger one has been empty for over a decade ago. It used to be a drugstore. I don't remember which one. it's a mystery property right smack in the middle of the town, also on the main strip road and highway. Meanwhile just about everything else commercial property is gone, sold, rented, and being built on. I think that the problem must be the lack of parking space. They're going to have to tear it down, and build something else much smaller, that leaves more parking lot.

But they took the next cheapest trick and bought a sub from each Subway within a mile of the studio. - - On restaurant density: I live in a small town in NW Massachusetts. There is a Subway in my town, and there were two, now one, in the next town (one in the center of town, one that closed that was in the WalMart). This is on top of a McD's, a Wendy's a Taco Bell (no KFC menu there, dang it!), A Dominos, two Chinese restaurants, a Chinese/Japanese restaurant, an overpriced fine dining place, a seafood place, 3 single-owner pizza/sub shops, the deli counter at the Hannaford's grocery store, and around a half-dozen prepared food counters at the Market Basket mega-grocery store. There may be a couple I missed.

I remember in the 90s there were no Subways, and then suddenly there were three fairly close. Back then, they'd be open much later than everywhere else, until midnight on weekdays and 2 AM on weekends. As a teen who'd get off work after 11 PM, this was one of the few places you could eat. I actually remember liking the sandwiches then, especially compared to the McDonald's alternative. They only had two kinds of bread, so it was usually freshly baked. Subway was one of the closest places to eat near the high school too, so it was always packed at lunch. I didn't eat Subway for a while, came back and they had like 7 kinds of bread. Every single time I got a sandwich in the future (usually while traveling on a road trip and needing non-McDonald's/Burger King etc food), the sandwiches were horrible because the bread was almost always stale. I haven't eaten at a Subway in years now, usually picking Jimmy John's when road tripping for some "fast" food. The K-Pop at the end was a thing of beauty and perfectly done to the point that it looked legit until the tuna thing. :)
